I wasn't sure what the quality or size would be. UPS had to delay the shippment a couple days due to bad weather and product still arrived cold. Packed very well with styrofoam and coldpaks. Cheeses vaccuum packed so I didn't feel like I had to eat all that cheese right away. Cheeses were sized well. Decent sized bricks and wheels. No ordinary cheeses. Things like Blueberry Stilton were the norm. Even had a cheese I had never heard of. Was a great value. I'll definately be purchasing from them in the future.

All of the cheeses included in this selection were a big hit at the department holiday party. The stilton with lemon was the one cheese that was somewhat unexpected. Cheddars, bleus and the soft cheeses (camembert and goat cheese) are generally cheeses which people recognize and know if they like them or not. The lemon in the stilton was unexpected, and therefore received more comments - but they were all favorable.

It's a good combination, and just right for a group of 15 - 25 people.

I severed this selection at a holiday party full of people who love exotic cheese, and these were a hit! Everyone raved about the variety, and wanted to know where I got such unusual items. When I said they were online, and metioned the price, people where shocked at the value. A similar amount of such items at a local gourmet grocer would have easily cost twice as much. Especially memerable were the Rosemary Magala and the Ginger Mango Stilton. So good, we're going to use this vender for our monthly Wine and Cheese parties.

This 4 lb 8 cheese sampler is sure to be a hit with friends and family...The taste and quality of these cheeses is superb...I have never tasted better,and its very hard to stop eating these once you take a bite...An excellent holiday gift 5 star rated.

Based on the great reviews, I ordered the cheese package as a gift. After waiting several days for an acknowledgment from my friends I brazeningly asked for their assessment of the cheese. Much to my amazement, they had not received the gift. Upon contacting igourment I was informed that based upon their FedEx records it had been delievered (not signed for) and too much time had passed and they would not refund the gift nor redeliver the package. They did offer to sell me the same package at half price.

I did not have an easy order in that I needed it shipped to Saipan. Their customer services person said it couldn't be done, but they corrected themselves (maybe a new person on the job that didn't know) and sent the cheese. My friend was graciously thankful and I am therefore thankful as well for their services.

I sent this to my sister who loves, loves, loves cheese. She's picky about it too, having lived in Italy for several years. She said this was an awesome gift and the cheeses are divine. I'm thinking about ordering one for myself!
